    probably get flak for this but

    what if we stick out the reserves against hearts save and condition our first team for aek

    i'd take a defeat against hearts if it means getting through this one, we'll make the points up and gub them the rest of the times we play them :fear:

    Nah, we’re still getting up to speed and it’s important that our domestic campaign gets off to the best start too. Don’t mind maybe giving KT or Forrest a rest, maybe McGregor too.. but not wholesale changes.

    Fancy us to score and concede, hoping a 2-1 win.

    I have little faith in our defence and reckon we'll * the bed as usual on the road, and concede in the first 15 minutes

    We’d face FK Spartaks (Latvia) or FK Sūduva (Lithuania) in the Europa League Play-off Round.

    They just have to sit in and not concede to go through it might be a repeat of the 2nd half with them parking the bus and hitting on the break. The guy they had upfront took the ball in and held up it up and set up the breaks so that needs to be addressed in training

    It will be a very different game in athens. The only reason they could do this is because our full backs were getting forward.

    I pray we can get an early goal. We really need our players to step up. A couple of bits of individual quality could be priceless and we have that in this team.

    It comes down to this..

    Athens can't gamble a near £40m CL income on sitting in the box defending, like they did in the 2nd half. It's just a waiting game for us to score.

    They will have to come out, and when they did, we dominated, and we will dominate and expose.

    We have one task. Attack and score. They have the awkward position to sit back or attack, and they know they can't match us on the attack.

    We'll go through, and if we don't we probably had about 25 chances on goal to do it

    They don’t need to come out, they will sit and counter.. something they seem to be comfortable doing.

    Then we need ntcham & big Tam to start as they seem to thrive in scoring those long range in the top bin!

    Not sure Rogic will start, he was pretty ineffective v them on Wed.. Dembele could make a massive difference tho..

    The team, now more than ever, need us to have faith and get behind them. There's a lot of negativity surrounding the board but we need to pour all of our energy into supporting the Bhoys.

    We can do it, I have every faith. COYBIG. :ynwacelti
